Abstract

Inflammatory state in a subject is assayed by determining the level of expression of A3 adenosine receptor (A3AR) in white blood cells (WBC), e.g. circulating WBCs, from the subject. A high level of expression of A3AR is indicative of an inflammatory state in the subject. This assay can be used for determining the severity of inflammation in a subject and monitoring the efficacy of anti-inflammatory treatment. Also, the level of expression may be used for selecting patients to receive an anti-inflammatory treatment that comprises an A3AR agonist.

In the first embodiment, A 3The high level expression of AR is as the index of inflammatory conditions among the experimenter.Term " high level " is interpreted as that expression is significantly higher than the expression in the normal cell.For example, can be with A among the WBC 3The AR expression levels is compared with control level, and described control level is the A among health volunteer's the normal WBC 3The expression of AR.Sometimes, determine that by detection and the corresponding detected sample from individuality of one or more reference standard expression is useful, described reference standard is another reference standard of for example representing a reference standard of normal condition and representing inflammatory conditions; Or the reference standard of the reference standard of an expression normal condition and two or more expression various disease states.
In second embodiment, expression and the standard of determining compared.Described standard can based on the front determine from healthy individual with from having inflammatory conditions or having the level of the individuality of different inflammatory conditions.The form of discrete values for example, or be that the form with the chart of different colours with the healthy and inflammatory conditions of expression or tone provides described standard under the situation of colourimetry in determination method; Or the form of the comparison curves that can produce based on these standards provides.
Can be by determining to be present in the A in the WBC cell 3(as mentioned above, it can be A to the AR expression levels 3The level of AR albumen, protein fragments or mRNA level etc.) formulate these standards, described WBC cell available from a plurality of by diagnosis (by other modes, for example by the doctor, by histological techniques etc.) patient positive, that have the inflammation of different severity levels.Method that also can be by various routines for example is identified for formulating the severity of the disease of described standard by pathological technique.In another embodiment, simultaneously the experimenter's of many health volunteers and different inflammatory conditions standard is measured, the level that will determine in determined sample and these standards are relatively then.
For example, the protein content level between per 1,000,000 cell X1 to X2 can be defined as the index of 1 grade of inflammation, and the higher protein content between per 1,000,000 cell Y1 to Y2 may be defined as the index of 2 grades of inflammation etc.After these standards of formulation, just may be with A available from particular individual 3The value of the standard of AR expression levels and correspondence compares, thereby obtains the assessment of disease severity.
Can by before treatment, during the treatment and the sample of gathering WBC of the different time points after the treatment assess the effect of experimenter's anti-inflammatory treatment.For example, can gather first sample and can gather second sample by the time point during treating at the time point before the treatment beginning.Compare A in second sample with first sample 3The minimizing of AR expression represents that treatment is effective.The degree that reduces can be represented the degree of therapeutic efficiency, and promptly correlativity can be quantitative.
In another example, can gather first sample and can during treating, gather second sample on the time point after the time point of first sample on the time point during treating.Compare A in second sample with first sample 3The minimizing of AR expression represents that treatment is effective.
In the 3rd example, gather first sample on can the time point during treating and can on the time point behind the TD, gather second sample.In this case, compare A in second sample with first sample 3The increase of AR expression represents that treatment is effective.
Certainly, also can carry out other different combinations and surpassing collected specimens on 2 time points.
The present invention also provides the experimenter who is used to select to suffer certain inflammation disease to accept the method for anti-inflammatory therapy, and this anti-inflammatory therapy comprises to the experimenter uses A 3Adenosine receptor (A 3AR) activator, this method comprise the A among the WBC that determines the experimenter 3If the expression of AR and described level are higher than predetermined level, select this experimenter to accept described anti-inflammatory therapy.Certain threshold level that described predetermined level can be all experimenters.Described predetermined level also can be many levels of different patient colony, for example: the level of all ages and classes colony; The level of various disease state; (for example, the discovery methotrexate is induced A to the history of the level-past drug therapy of different medical histories 3The level of AR increases) ill year number etc.Can determine described predetermined level by clinical research, ACR20, an ACR50 that described research is for example formulated by American College of Rheumatology according to the acceptable response standard and a standard among the ACR70 or any other acceptable effective standard are sought the correlativity between expression of receptor and the drug response.
The selection that is suitable for the experimenter of anti-inflammatory therapy can be by the A in the WBC sample that picks up from described experimenter before definite treatment 3The expression of AR carries out.If the A that determines 3The level of AR is higher than predefined threshold value and then selects this experimenter.
According to an embodiment, threshold value is the certain multiple (certain multiple) of A3AR expression among health volunteer's the WBC.According to another embodiment, determine threshold value based on the average expression among the patient who suffers from described certain inflammatory disease, and it can be described mean value or certain multiple or its part.According to other embodiments, determine threshold value among the people patient based on the clinical research among the people patient, described research determines that through being designed for expression and patient are to the correlativity between the reaction of described cure.As being realized, can be different for different inflammatory disease threshold values.As also being realized, according to its character, this choice criteria is based on statistics, thereby the patient that expression is selected can be to treating aitiogenic a certain probability.Therefore, such choice criteria, as undoubtedly by understood by one of ordinary skill in the art, these choice criteria may not be made a prediction to reaction fully, and therefore the patient of some part of selecting thus also can be to treating nullvalent patient.
This system of selection also can be used for selecting to participate in the candidate of clinical research with the effect of detection anti-inflammatory therapy, and described therapy comprises A 3The AR activator individually or and other drug for example methotrexate use to the patient together.As recognized by those skilled in the art, clinical research (being also referred to as term ' clinical testing ' or ' clinical protocol ') is the definite new drug that carries out in people volunteer or the scientific research of the mechanism of action of cure in people experimenter.The new way of determining experimental therapy or using known therapies is tested in intervention, and whether safety is with effective under controlled environment.By clinical research, the doctor finds to prevent, detect, diagnose, control and treat the new and better method of disease.According to the present invention, selecting patient's clinical research based on the A3AR level can be the clinical research of I phase, II phase, III phase, IV phase or any other type.

The A that is undertaken by Western blotting (WB) 3The analysis of AR protein expression level
Carry out the Western engram analysis (WB) of synovia, pawl, spleen and lymph node according to following scheme.With freezing PBS rinsing sample and with sample transfer to freezing lysis buffer (TNN damping fluid, 50mM Tris pH of buffer=7.5,150mM NaCl, NP 40).By centrifugal 10 minutes removal cell fragments under 7500xg.Use Bio-Rad protein determination coloring agent to determine protein concentration.The polyacrylamide gel of use 12% separates the sample (50 μ g) of equivalent by SDS-PAGE.Then with the albumen electrotransfection that decomposes to nitrocellulose filter (Schleicher ﹠amp; Schuell, Keene, NH, USA) on.With 1% BSA closing membrane, use the first anti-A then 3The antibody of AR (dilutability 1: 1000) was 4 ℃ of following incubations 24 hours.Wash trace then and at room temperature used the second antibody incubation 1 hour.Use BCIP/NBT colour development kit (Promega, Madison, W1, USA) record band.
The result
A 3AR is raised in inflammation and hematopoietic tissue
Analyze definite A by WB 3The expression of AR in the AIA model.For this reason, obtain also described in material and method, to analyze from Inflamed tissue's (pawl) or from the protein extract of procedure for peripheral blood tissue (peripheral blood lymphocytes, lymph node and spleen).Figure 1A-1D has shown the WB analysis result, and this result also is shown in the histogram of the correspondence that average result and standard deviation are provided.As shown, A 3AR (is raised among Figure 1B-1D) at Inflamed tissue (Figure 1A) and procedure for peripheral blood tissue.
A 3The expression of AR in the AIA model is also relevant with disease clinical score (Fig. 2), and this is inflammation and A 3Association between AR expresses provides further evidence.
CF101 suppresses the development of AIA
After immunity about 21 days, arthritis took place in most of animals through vehicle treated gradually.CF101 handle (10 μ g/kg, every day twice oral administration, after the immunity the 14th day) and methotrexate (MTX) processing cause the remarkable minimizing of disease severity, the result of two kinds of medicines is closely similar, as being estimated by the arthritis clinical score.Disease peaked at the 21st to 28 day and observes the ceiling effect (Fig. 3) of CF101 or MTX in these days.
A 3AR highly expresses in the inflammation tissue of AIA rat and procedure for peripheral blood tissue
In healthy pawl and synovial tissue, detect low A 3The AR expression.In deriving from the inflammation tissue of AIA rat, notice A 3The remarkable increase of AR protein expression level (Fig. 4 A-4B).After IB-MECA handles, A 3The AR level is reduced (Fig. 4 A-4B) at once.In the periphery hematopoietic tissue, notice similar pattern, promptly in the spleen of the animal that derives from not test (N.T.) and lymph node (LN), notice low A 3The AR expression is from the low expression (Fig. 5 A-5C) in the rat tissue of high expression level in the tissue of AIA and IB-MECA processing.In the LN of the AIA rat that the MTX that uses by oneself handles, observe similar A 3AR express spectra (Fig. 6).
In deriving from the MNC of RA, find high A 3AR expresses the low expression among the health volunteer
In from health volunteer's MNC, find low A 3The AR expression, and in deriving from RA patient's MNC, detect high expressed (Fig. 7).
A 3Correlativity between AR expression and the clinical efficacy parameter
Extract blood from 17 RA patients that participate in clinical research, described clinical research detects the influence of CF101 to the performance of the disease among these patients.After the removing phase of previous treatment and extract blood after the treatment at 3 months then, separate PERIPHERAL BLOOD MONONUCLEAR CELL (PBMNC) and determine A in these cells 3The level of AR.As can be seen in Figure 8, there are 5 to be the non-responder among these 17 patients, be these patients even the reaction that does not obtain ACR20, and other 13 patients are respondents, because it has the reaction of ACR20 at least (as seeing in Fig. 8,3 reactions with ACR70 are arranged, 5 reactions that obtain ACR50, other 4 reactions that only obtain ACR20 among the respondent).
As can further seeing in Fig. 8, all ACR50 and ACR70 respondent all have initial high-level A 3AR, after 3 months treatment, this high level reduces, and in the non-responder A 3The AR level does not change basically.By " * " " patient of mark (patient number 1517); although there is not ACR reaction (variation according to CRP level (be used for calculating a parameter of the parameter of ACR scoring-referring to following) is lower than 0% the fact), on other parameters number that particularly touch a tender spot in swelling and joint, have the improvement of highly significant.
These data clearly prove uses A 3The AR level (is particularly utilized A with the prediction patient to the anti-inflammatory medicinal treatment 3The AR activator is as this therapy of disease modification medicine) the ability of reaction.
A in the RA patient of methotrexate for treatment 3The rise of AR expression
Before the therapy of using methotrexate begins and gather blood sample from 4 RA patients afterwards.Separate PBMNC and measure A as mentioned above 3The level of AR.Being shown in result among Fig. 9 proves and uses the therapy of methotrexate to induce A 3The increase of AR level.
The medical history in these data presentation past, the medicinal treatment of particularly passing by can influence the A among the PBMNC 3Therefore the AR level may need to consider this medical history in order to carry out method of the present invention.
